Costa Rica's northern neighbour has all the same amazing landscape, culture, waves and jungles....but not a MacDonald's in site!

Costa Rica's northern neighbors are about to burst onto the traveler scene. For years, people have been visiting CR in droves and its beautiful coast line has developed accordingly. All the while, Nicaragua has just been sitting there in its natural state with hardly a resort in site - just pristine, beautiful beaches and some of the Pacific coast's best surf-able waves. It is a backpackers paradise.

Surfing and Pacific coast is hardly all it has to offer though! The islands on the Caribbean coast with their completely different culture, white sand beaches, crystal turquoise waters, world class scuba/snorkeling and of course that laid back Caribbean vibe are everything you could hope for in a tropical paradise.

As well as tons of stunning coast line, Nicaragua has some pretty amazing land loving adventure. This country is known as "The land of Lakes and Volcanoes". There are 25 volcanoes which offer some amazing hiking. Or how about volcano boarding or zip-lining? The stunning Ometepe is an island of 2 twin volcanoes coming up from the middle of a massive lake. We'll be staying on its edge in a laid back beach town perfect for people like you and us.....the Free and Easy types....

Take all that Nicaragua has to offer and let Free and Easy be your hosts and we are certain that you'll come back with an abundance of answers to all those people who asked "Nicaragua? Why Nicaragua?" Be one of the first to explore this country hot on the backpacker trail. Free and Easy has spent a great deal of time in 2009 fine tuning this next epic adventure. We're doing the leg work to find those secret special places to make our first trip into Latin America an unforgettable one.
